Tea Tree Oil: Nature’s Pocket-Sized Protector
Meet tea tree oil, the tiny but mighty essential oil that’s been guarding health and happiness for millennia! From ancient Aboriginal wisdom to modern-day skincare savior, this zesty oil packs a punch. Let’s dive into its leafy legacy and why it’s a BunnyBlossom favorite!
A Leaf Out of History
Long before it graced bathroom cabinets, tea tree oil was the OG healer for Australia’s Bundjalung people. They crushed the leaves into poultices for wounds, brewed steams for congestion, and even soaked in tea tree-infused lakes they called “healing grounds” 23. Fast-forward to the 1920s, when scientists discovered its germ-killing superpowers, and boom—it became a global sensation!
Modern-Day Magic
